Evacuation of Ny Sjælland

'New Zealand') was a Danish evacuation of a newly established colony on Camorta, Nicobar Islands due to native threats and raids.

Located the same place as Ny Sjælland Due to its ability to produce exotic crops and strategic placement, the Nicobar Islands were unsuccessfully colonized by the Danish Asiatic Company based in Tranquebar.

[4][5] Despite being kindly received by the local Nicobarese people and their chief, Captain John, the situation soon deteriorated, with the first Dane dying of disease a short time after arriving.

[6] Subsequently, there were several raids into the colony's warehouses,[6] and the Danish commander, Christian Frederik Lund, believed that the Nicobarese used the Danes' vulnerability to their advantage.

In a report written several years later, Lund also placed the blame on the deceased commander, Jens Tved, saying he should not have indulged the Nicobarese with tobacco and cloth.
